DS,
That's what I thought when you told me the meds (I had read up on some of these disorders and their treatment). The friend I was telling you about, has bipolar. I had looked up all related disorders and their meds, when he got diagnosed and was prescribed one.

It's great to hear that you're doing so well now.

You're an intelligent person, take care of that brain of yours.

Sending you *hugs*.

The only time in my life that I suffered severe deep depression was after him and I broke up and after a few years of not been able to recover I decided to give medication a try bc I couldn't live feeling like that any longer, I reached my limit; overcoming the depression that resulted from our break up was one of the hardest things I have had to do. I took medication for about a year and it was the only thing that finally made a difference. I hated the idea of taking medication but when you truly need it badly it can change your life and make a big difference.

His ophelia and TARDIS conjuncts my Moon on his DC, the breakup was very hard for him too.

Ophelia is no joke! Ophelia is to me about deep unquestionable devotion and the loss of a loved one you are so deeply devoted to and mad about which may lead to madness or suicide.

Mind you when we broke up transit chiron was squaring his Saturn in Libra and activating the midpoint between my 2nd house ruler and 8th house ruler and I have saturn in scorpio indicating destined lessons about loss, attachment and the power of sex.

Well dang those transits just suck! Ophelia is no joke, she's some serious depressive power haha (kidding aside) I'm sorry for that happening to you

Thank you for sharing StubbornVirgo, I also have chronic illness that contributes to my depression, it's a pain in the you know what. Chiron in the 5/6th would do it, loss of creativity/joy and health. My support is with you.

I've not been professionally diagnosed yet, but I'm positive that I at least have some form of depression, especially at this point in my life where the lingering signs/characteristics of it has worsened and affected me worse than it ever has before (seeping out into my external life where I can't help but notice it's there).

Transit wise, the things that stand out to me the most are t.Saturn transiting in my 6th this past year and t.Chiron transiting my 9th conjunct n.Saturn which is at the apex of my Thors Hammer. I also have my solar return Sun in 6th house for this year.

I'm not 100% sure on what the Thors Hammer configuration all entails in a natal chart, but when t.Uranus was conjunct my n.Saturn some years ago (Oct. 2008), that was a HUGE turning point in my life. My mom divorced my step-dad (who had been abusive to her through most of my childhood) and we ended up living with my grandmother until things became "stable" again.. but I feel like things have been anything but since that day lol.

Funny how as soon as t.Chiron gets closer to an exact conjunction to my n.Saturn, all of the feelings I've tried to avoid/cover have all decided to blow up in my face. Can't wait to see what happens when t.Neptune hits.
